Why Highland Spring Sparkling Water? Well, that’s easy…
The story of Highland Spring Sparkling Water begins in the Ochil Hills of Perthshire, home to 2,000 acres of protected land, nestled into the majestic landscapes.
As stunning as the vistas are, the true treasure of the Ochil Hills is hidden far beneath the surface. Dig deep and you’ll find a secret source of spring water – and every single drop has been through quite the journey to get there. At a gentle pace set by nature, rainfall spends 15 years filtering through a layer of basalt rock, purifying it to perfection.
The folks at Highland Spring draw it straight from the source and use it to craft beautiful Scottish drinks.
“We mix our sparkling spring water with juice and natural flavourings inspired by Scotland. For example, rich blackberry, sweet plum and floral hibiscus all balance beautifully to ensure a lip-smackingly rewarding experience whether you’re enjoying your Highland Spring Sparkling Fruit Can on its own or with food. Equally, the sweet pear and floral, citrusy elderflower blend together flavours of autumn and spring to create an explosion of taste that can be savoured all year round.”
It’s these wildly flavourful taste profiles that are so compelling for discerning drinkers, on the hunt for drinks that pair well with gin.
Once you have tried the cocktail above, you need to give Highland Spring Pear & Elderflower Sparkling Water a go in this quick and easy serve:
